Metropolia Ducha, Metropolia Ciała: Przyszłość Śląska a Ekonomia Mocy
Journal Title: Śląskie Studia Polonistyczne - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The author, assuming that identity is not given, but just a matter of construction, asks for the possibility of shaping a Silesian identity in a more or less free way. At the same time, he underlines the fact that politics based on identity exclusively, leads nowhere (for example to aggressive nationalism). The author sees an alternative in a polyphonic identity, referring to Michail Bachtin’s idea of multi-voicing. Based on this type of a political inclusivism where there is no place for the excluded (because everyone is an indispensable part of the system), the author postulates creating a beyond-local structure, notably a Silesian Metropoly. The article analyses the reason and conditions of the (im)possibility of its creation. L’auteur, en admettant que l’identité ne soit pas donnée, mais elle soit une question de construction, s’interroge sur la possibilité de formuler, plus ou moins librement, l’identité silésienne. Il souligne également que la politique basant uniquement sur l’identité, ne mène nulle part (par exemple à un nationalisme agressif). L’auteur voit l’alternative dans l’identité polyphonique, se référant à l’idée de Mikhail Bakhtine. En basant sur ce type d’inclusivisme politique, d’universalisme où il n’y a pas de place pour les exclus (car ils sont tous des éléments indispensables du système), l’auteur postule la création de la structure supérieure à la ville : la Métropole Silésienne. Dans son article il analyse le sens et les conditions (im)possibles de sa création.
